Change Your Face

How to Change Your Face

Talk to a tender at any tavern to hear rumors of a strange character that can change your face.

They’re for real, and only available in the Dawnguard DLC. Find them in Riften, in the underground tunnels below town called the Ratway.

Travel to the Thieve’s Guild HQ called the Ragged Flaggon, a tavern located in the Ratway.

Inside the tavern, look for a robed figure named Galathil. Speak to them, and eventually they’ll agree to sculpt your face.

Having your face changed will cost 1000 gold.

You will only be able to alter your face — nothing else. There are no options to change your race or gender.
